As a person who has no religious affiliation but a lot of curiosity this book was really interesting as Ash tried to find out if there was a (Christian) place of worship for her.
It was interesting to see her preconceived ideas both being chipped away and being reinforced at the same time and it did leave me more open to exploring religion further too,

I came to this book with a certain amount of interest but also of detachment. Interest because I am - and have been - a Christian for 42 years. Detachment because, despite being still utterly compelled by the life and times and the afterlife of Jesus the Christ, I am - and have been - deconstructing for a number of years.
Lamorna’s writing drew me in immediately. From the opening paragraphs about Jacob wrestling with the angel, through her exploration of various different outworkings of Christianity, through to her gently arrived at conclusion (and I won’t spoil it), I felt as though I was truly accompanying her on her explorations.
This book might bring you to (Christian) faith, it might turn you away from it. It might confirm what you already think, or it may raise new questions and stirrings within you. But whatever else it does, it cannot fail to make you look, and to think, and to ponder, the mystery of faith.
